Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that Kremlin leader Putin made a serious miscalculation when he spoke with President Trump about possible peace in Ukraine and then launched strikes on peaceful cities.

The lawmaker wrote about this on Monday on his page on the X network, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.

“I completely understand President Donald Trump's frustration with Russia’s continued attacks on Ukraine, which indicates no real desire to come to the peace table,” the senator said.

He stressed that the Kremlin leader “ seriously miscalculated” with President Trump.

“I hope countries like China, India and Brazil — who prop up Putin’s war machine —are about to pay a long overdue price,” the senator said.

He stressed that Congress has overwhelming bipartisan support to help President Trump in his efforts to bring the parties to the negotiating table.
